Risky Dice
Tags for Risky Dice
Description
High risk, high reward. Choose your path carefully as you try to score as many points as possible.
The game is based on Sid Sackson's design from 1969. It has been implemented multiple times since then under titles including Solitaire Dice, Einstein, Choice, Extra!, Sigma and most recently Can't Stop Express.
How to Play
Each game consists of several rounds. In each round, you first select one die to go aside. You then form 2 pairs from the remaining 4 dice that go into your scoring grid to a row based on the sum of the dice that form the pair.
Your score is based on how many dice you put into each row. If you only put 4 or less pairs into a row, you score -20 points. If however you put 5th dice into a row, you score 0 for that row, and then score positive points for additional pairs you put into the same row. The less likely sums are worth more points.
Can you score more than other player playing with the same rolls? Can you score 100 points?

I remember this as Sid Sackson's dice game "Choice," and it was implemented on the Palm Pilot as "Sigma." Probably the only game I kept playing on the Palmpilot.

Yes, the game is based on Sid Sackon's "Solitaire Dice" back from 1969, when he published it in his book "Gamut of Games". It has been since implemented many times, but I have not yet came across a digital implementation with online scores in the way I implemented. I updated the game description to give attribution to Sid Sackson, thanks for pointing that out.

"Can you get 100?" almost certainly no XD

Looks pretty fun and enjoyable amidst the swamp of idle games. 5/5

I've been seeing empty tutorial-style popup boxes for a while now, what's up with that?
